GLASS PACKAGE UNIT

Abstract

The claimed technical solution belongs to the means used in frame doors, windows or other locking elements, facade elements or internal partitions. The field of application of the claimed technical solution is construction, in particular, decoration of the facade, arrangement of the interior of the premises. In the inner part of the hermetic chamber, a layer of adhesive is applied to each sheet of glass, where the layer is applied in a continuous strip, which has a depth greater than the size of the fastening element used when installing the glass package unit. This ensures an increase in the strength and rigidity of the glass package unit.

Claims

1. A glass package unit, which contains at least two sheets of glass, alternately separated from each other by a distance frame, and the distance frame and two sheets of glass adjacent to it are connected to each other to form a hermetic chamber between them, wherein the distance frame has two sides, an inner side and an outer side, the hermetic chamber is formed by joining the sides of the distance frame to two sheets of glass with an adhesive, where each sheet of glass faces one side of the distance frame, the distance frame has a perimeter on the outside that is smaller than the perimeter of the sheet of glass that is connected to the distance frame, and the adhesive is applied in a layer along the endfaces of the glass package unit on the outer surface of the distance frame between two sheets of glass, and the outer perimeter of the layer of adhesive is not greater than the perimeter of at least one of the sheets of glass that form a hermetic chamber, and the layer of adhesive is applied with the possibility of using it as a basis for installing fastening elements, where this possibility is determined by the thickness of the layer of adhesive.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0034] The glass package unit containing two sheets of glass separated by a distance frame is usually called a single-chamber glass package unit. Increasing the number of glass sheets and distance frames per unit allows you to get two, three or more hermetic chambers. Hermetic chambers are formed by combining in places near the periphery two adjacent sheets of glass of a hermetic remote partition. In particular, the hermetic chamber is formed by combining the sides of the distance frame with two sheets of glass using adhesive. When the adhesive dries, a complete construction of the hermetic chamber is formed from two sheets of glass facing each side of the distance frame. Such processes as filling the hermetic chamber with argon are not part of the essence of the claimed technical solution, as they are obvious to a specialist in this field and do not affect the achievement of the claimed technical result.

[0035] The distance frame has two sides, an inner side and an outer side, where the designation of the names of the sides is determined by their reference to the sheets of glass, endfaces, etc. Since the distance frame is attached to the side of the sheet of glass with its entire area, the distance frame has a perimeter on the outside that is smaller than the perimeter of the sheet of glass that is connected to the distance frame. That is, a recess is formed at the endface of the glass package unit, caused by the difference in the perimeters of the distance frame and the glass sheets.

[0036] The structurally formed notch was used to fill with adhesive. That is, the adhesive is applied in a layer along the endfaces of the glass package unit on the outer surface of the distance frame between two sheets of glass. The adhesive is filled at the endfaces mainly to the level between two adjacent sheets of glass. However, when drying, the adhesive layer reduces its thickness due to the evaporation of volatile substances.

[0037] As a result, in the finished design of the glass package unit, the outer perimeter of the adhesive layer is not greater than the perimeter of at least one of the glass sheets that form the hermetic chamber. This allows you to get such a surface of the endface of the glass package unit, which can be mounted on the frame or on the bracket without preliminary treatment.

[0038] The main advantage of the claimed technical solution is that the distance between the endfaces of the glass sheets to the distance frame is determined by production and/or design necessity. That is, depending on the place and method of fastening the glass package unit, choose the necessary distance of the distance frame from the endfaces of the glass package unit. It is clear that the layer of adhesive should have a size (thickness) that would not allow the fastening elements to contact the distance frame to avoid its damage. Fasteners currently range in length from 5 mm to 250 mm, particularly from 25 mm to 70 mm. However, the depth at which the distance frame is placed can be determined by the presence of approved requirements for the fastening of the glass package unit, and accordingly, the glass package unit can be manufactured in compliance with these conditions.

[0039] It is worth noting that the layer of adhesive in combination with the distance frame forms a stiffening rib, which, when combined with a sheet of glass, provides its reinforcement. It was found that this application of adhesive significantly increases the strength and rigidity of the glass package unit structure, which allows the use of the claimed technical solution under conditions of increased load, for example, strong wind, which puts pressure on the mounted glass package unit. It is important that the adhesive is applied with a solid mass, that is, there are no joints between the layer of adhesive applied to the endface of the glass package unit and the strip that is applied along the sides of the distance frame. This simultaneously simplifies the production of glass package units and strengthens the structure.

[0040] Epoxy adhesive or polyurethane adhesive or others, the parameters of which will be satisfied, can be used as adhesive. When each of the proposed adhesive implementation options solidifies, a dense continuous solid layer of adhesive is formed. However, a specialist in this field may be aware of other variants of the embodiment of this feature, i.e. such adhesive substances, which acquire high strength and rigidity upon solidification.

[0041] Based on the above description, the specialist should be able to understand all the possible implementation options of the claimed technical solution, which fall under the scope of patent protection, which is defined by the attached formula.
